Another Important Thing....

So as if it is impossible to remember, today is Sept. 11. 9 years ago something tragic happened to our country. It's been kind of a crazy ride between that day, when Matt and I were juniors in high school, just about to start dating to what we are now. And even more has changed in our country. History has been made over and over again, in various ways. We now have a very different president than the one who was in charge when the planes crashed. It's no secret that we are not fans of the current guy in charge but all I really have to say is that I truly hope he understands and remembers all those who died in the way that they deserve. I know he called for tolerance but I hope he truly means for all people, not just toward Muslims. So far it doesn't seem that his administration has been all that tolerant of the Christians in our country and he's been way to tolerant of people who shouldn't even be here. This is not a rant about what I disagree with-that can happen another time. This is about remembering those who were lost, and those we will still lose. We're not out of Iraq yet and in reality it may be a while until everyone is out of the Middle East for good. I know that reality hits a little too close to home as we prepare to get closer to that region and with the job that Matt has. Lets not only remember our soliders, but all those who go in pursuit of what is right. The contractors and missionaries and teachers and all who wish to make the world better and safer for those yet to come into the world.
